HDL Coder enables high-level design for FPGAs, SoCs, and ASICs by generating Verilog and VHDL code. You can use the generated HDL code for FPGA programming, ASIC prototyping, and production design.
What is Verilog code? Verilog isa Hardware Description Language; a textual format for describing electronic circuits and systems. Applied to electronic design, Verilog is intended to be used for verification through simulation, for timing analysis, for test analysis (testability analysis and fault gradi...
Why is UVM so important? SystemVerilog provides the base language features to build testbenches but doesn’t lay out a methodology/process for verification. It’s the nails, screws, hammer, and screwdriver, but has no instructions. UVM takes proven methodologies from both the hardware and softw...
The NI LabVIEW FPGA Module enables engineers and scientists to develop, debug, and deploy custom FPGA code for NI hardware with user-programmable FPGAs.
Another common HDL is Verilog or its superset, SystemVerilog. It is more concise, weakly typed, and flexible, and its syntax looks like C code. Because it’s easy to learn and create descriptions in, engineers prefer it when starting out or when their circuits are not as complicated. IEEE...
ASIC Testbench works with MathWorks® coders to generate C code, with wrappers using the SystemVerilog Direct Programming Interface, or DPI. The source model can be either MATLAB code or a Simulink model. These generated DPI models run natively in HDL simulators including Siemens® Questa™,...
. In the next post in the series, I will discuss using proprietary simulator features like Synopsys VCS xprop to address X optimism. What are your experiences with Verilog X optimism or X pessimism? How do you ensure your simulation is as accurate as possible? Leave a comment below!
Euclide IDE supports SystemVerilog and VHDL and can be used in different ways. For example, it can be run in batch mode and used as a continuous integration check to make sure every check-in is of high quality and free of lint errors. Euclide IDE can also be used as a code entry too...
In a fully connected hardware design workflow, you can useHDL Coder™to generate functionally correct Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL code to begin the hardware design implementation process. This approach has the added advantage of full traceability back to the model and requirements, which is cr...
DVT-20271 False SELECT_NOT_ALLOWED errors for VHDL arrays used in SystemVerilog code for mixed-language projects DVT-20390 In some cases, the default value of a parameter is not evaluated when the same module is instantiated both in Verilog and VHDL24.1...
